Lately, I have run across 2 websites (that I can recall) that have successfully and effectively changed the FONT and FONT SIZE of their adsense ads located on their websites.

While this may seem unbelievable to some people, I honestly cannot get my "History" to properly work due to an "oversize" cache file, or I would post links. I will actively seek these sites and post the links ASAP.

I want to know if anyone here can already do this? I figured I would be able to mess with the CSS of the ad, but then realized the font and size settings are located within a javascript.​
Searching Google has resulted in nothing but lame wannabe SEO's telling their traffic to adjust their entire font styles to the existing basic Adsense font styles for better CTR. This is NOT what I am seeking. I have also yielded tons of results where people ask how to do this, but nobody gives a clear answer or rants about how it goes against the Google TOS.

All I know is, I regret not taking a screenshot and I swear I saw what I claim to have seen, and they were DEFINITELY Google Adsense Ads.

Please help.
 


Are you sure? Because this site didn't come off as a very large site...

I am still looking for the links, right now as we speak...
 
It's easy to change the font, size and style, but not so easy to do it and remain a publisher.

You could email adsense and ask them, but I suspect that you'll get no joy.
 
Just because they didn't look like large sites doesn't mean that the OTHER sites owned by the same publisher aren't large enough for him to be a premium publisher.
 
Here is a link to a site that is changing the adsense colors, font size, etc. on their pages. How do I accomplish this with Adsense? Are only premium publishers allowed to do this? Thanks in advance for the insight.

The site you provided isn't using Adsense. But the websites I ran across have ads that were styled similar to this. This is getting closer to what I am seeking, but not quite the exact same.
 
Digg has Google ads with modified font sizes. I'm pretty sure they are premium members, but it's a good example if you're looking for one to copy...
 
I haven't read the TOS, but how does one feel about making the Ad description color off-white, making the ads appear to be just links? I'm sure it's not legit, but I've always wanted to know.
 
Google actually has some detection crap where if you basically modify the colors to make descriptions blend in and the links appear to be just normal links... it will adjust the color of the text to be more visible. It overrides the actual settings put in place by you.
 
This might not be exactly what your looking for but I think its pretty close you can change around your adsense colors by changing the Adsense code your code will probably look like so:

Code: 
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-id";
google_ad_width = 250;
google_ad_height = 250;
google_ad_format = "250x250_as";
google_ad_type = "text";
google_ad_channel = "5952430598";
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

Just insert the following into it to change the color of the ads

Code: 
google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "3D81EE";
google_color_text = "000000";
google_color_url = "006699";

So now your entire code block should look like this:

Code: 
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-id";
google_ad_width = 250;
google_ad_height = 250;
google_ad_format = "250x250_as";
google_ad_type = "text";
google_ad_channel = "5952430598";
google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "3D81EE";
google_color_text = "000000";
google_color_url = "006699";
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

I'm not sure how they went about changing the font around I'll have to do some additional research on that but I'm sure there is some sort of hack for doing it.
 
Did you know now that Google is able to detect images next to the AdSense code? I have a friend who has these big website clampdown by Google, though they didn't close his Google ad sense account, they seized that whole website from getting any more revenue.

So be careful where you tread by copying other peoples code...
 
I had a site get busted the other day for images placed next to ads. While I still had the mandatory "barrier" between the images and ads... they still wanted the images removed. By no means did they ban me or even take away my ability to earn revenue on the site... they gave me a 3 day window to make changes or they would discontinue serving ads on that particular domain... I will post the email text they sent me. Here it is:

While reviewing your account, we noticed that you are currently displaying Google ads in a manner that is not compliant with our policies. For instance, we found violations of AdSense policies on pages such as http://www.DOMAINNAME.com/.

Publishers may not implement Google ads in a manner that disguises the ads in any way, for instance, by formatting neighboring content to look similar to the ads, or by making ads look like games or forum threads. Additionally, publishers may not attempt to associate specific images with the individual ads appearing on their sites. Such an implementation may confuse users who assume that the image is directly related to the advertiser's offerings.

Please make any necessary changes to your web pages in the next 3 business days. We also suggest that you take the time to review our program policies (https://www.google.com/adsense/policies) to ensure that all of your other pages are in compliance.

Once you update your site, we will automatically detect the changes and ad serving will not be affected. If you choose not to make the changes to your account within the next three days, your account will remain active but you will no longer be able to display ads on the site. Please note, however, that we may disable your account if further violations are found in the future.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

See, so obviously they have some detection software... or they wouldn't be able to say that the changes will be automatically detected. However, your friend should have made the appropriate changes to prevent his site from being penalized.

This is a relatively recent change to their TOS... so they are handing out warning and emails regarding this rather than banning/penalizing.

Hope this info helps.

Yeah this is why I removed my pub-id, my above code was strickly example purposes only and you should be copying your own code into your own adsense areas.

This includes the script parts.
 
if you bug google enough about it, they will give you premium adsense treatment, I swear, it happened to me..they give you js that lets you format the adsense
